The present invention is a toy launcher system. A lightweight projectile has an exterior surface symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis and is generally spool-shaped. The launcher is composed of a shaft to which a flexible curled band is attached. The flexible curled band holds the projectile within its curvature. When the launcher is rotated by a user using a general throwing motion the band uncurls, thereby launching the projectile into flight.

Described herein is a portable outdoor water and snow activity station used as a game or a toy. The activity station is a mesh screen panel PVC structure with supports that has a detachable water hose, which connects to a standard water spigot; the detachable hose has on/off nozzles for filling water balloons and other water toys and may be removed during non-use. The activity station has multiple slingshot launchers that may be used for launching both water balloons and snowballs. The activity station's adjoined mesh screen panels shield players as they propel objects with the slingshot launchers. The activity station contains rear storage pouches to hold water balloons and snowballs while in use. The activity station's foldable design allows for easy set up, take down, portability, and storage. The object of the game is for players at opposing stations to launch water balloons and snowballs at each other.

A catching game that is challenging even when played by one player. The catching game is a paddle-sized hand-held device that preferably incorporates an automatic launcher and an adjustable aperture catcher on the same hand-held device. The automatic launcher incorporates randomness into the launching mechanism, in order to increase the challenge to the player(s). The game also incorporates an electronic sensor to determine when a catch has been made.

A throwing apparatus includes a head portion configured to engage a ball, a handle portion configured for holding the throwing apparatus, and a communication portion configured to transmit a signal. A throwing system includes a throwing apparatus including a thrower portion configure to engage a ball, a communication portion enabling a user to assist in locating a ball, and a ball. A throwing method includes holding a throwing apparatus including a thrower portion configured to engage a ball and a communication portion, engaging a ball, swinging the throwing apparatus to throw the ball, choosing between the following: swinging a throwing apparatus to throw the ball to another person or swinging a throwing apparatus to throw the ball to a pet, and engaging the ball.

A device and method for launching a projectile, such as a golf ball, across a range. The device enables a golf ball to be launched across a golf course with greater control than is possible with a traditional golf club. The ease of loading the projectile into the launching device and swinging the launching device forward adds greater distance to the projectile due to an increase in angular momentum and back spin on the projectile. The device includes a C-shaped head defined by a nest, a pair of lateral retention arms, and a base. A distal portion is longer than a proximal portion to create backspin on the projectile. The concavity and lateral arms hold the projectile in place. The distal and proximal portions terminate at concave points that grip dimples on the projectile. The base is fixedly attached to a shaft, which is used for swinging the head.

A throwing device for efficiently throwing a ball. The throwing device has a scoop. The scoop has a closed end, a first ball opening and a second ball opening. The first ball opening and the second ball opening intersect on the scoop. The first ball opening is at least as large as the ball. The second ball opening is normally smaller than the ball. The second ball opening expands when pressed against the ball. This enables the ball to pass into the scoop through the second ball opening. A shaft extends from the closed end of the scoop for manipulating the scoop and ball.

A ball throwing device including a lower handle portion, a middle lever portion, and a head portion. The middle lever portion may include a plurality of latitudinal bends positioned between the lower handle portion and the head portion. Additionally and/or alternatively, the head portion may include a half-spherical cup configured to releasably retain a ball, the half-spherical cup having a plurality of edge lobes configured to flex over an outside diameter of the ball.

An arrow golf system has a bow having a bowstring, an arrow having a shaft with a ball on one end with a fletching and a string nock on an opposite end, a starting location, a finishing location, and a capturing apparatus at the finishing location. A player shoots the arrow from the starting location with the bow, to a second location closer to the finishing location, retrieves the arrow at the second location, and shoots the arrow toward the capturing apparatus from the second location.

A ball tossing assembly for game play includes a rod having a bottom end, a top end and a perimeter surface extending between the top and bottom ends. The perimeter surface includes a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The rod comprises a resiliently bendable material. A basket is attached to the front side and is positioned adjacent to the top end. The basket has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall. A top side of the basket is open for receiving a ball. The depression is positioned between the basket and the bottom end. The rod is grippable adjacent to the bottom end and the top end flexed rearwardly above the depression to create forward biased tension at a bend point above the depression.

An exercise apparatus includes an adjustable frame being attachable to an assistive ambulation device. The adjustable frame includes removable handles, fitting arms located on a lower portion of the adjustable frame to receive a fitness attachment, and attachment points on located on the lower portion of the adjustable frame to couple a resistance device. A jump rope trainer includes a handle; flexible tubing including a handle fastener to connect the handle to the flexible tubing; and a soft sphere shaped object. The flexible tubing includes a soft sphere shaped object fastener to connect the soft sphere shaped object to the flexible tubing.
